I have Visited one of our local clubs the soldiers & Sailors Club Long Eaton .
to carry out a full size snooker table re-cloth in Strachan 6811 tournament 30 oz cloth
and also to re-cloth in super fine napped wool cloth
in Hainsworth Precision , which is probably the fastest and most accurate napped wool cloth you could buy .
many thanks to Collette and Pete who have showed faith in repeat work with GCL billiards .
As some of you may know my back has been very painful this last month or so and I had to stop lifting heavy items for a while , I am finding it easing up now and I have free movement
as long as I wear a support belt , so I am resuming Snooker table dismantles and relocations , but only from Ground floor to Ground floor locations
no stairs or more than one or two steps that can be ramped .
Closed all day 16th August 2021 …Family funeral .
Super League pool table lots of upgrades to this 29 year old pool table .
First job if the day was in Crich Derbyshire .
The comrades club .
Super League pool table re-cloth in Hainsworth match .
New set of full size rubber cushions .
Two new door locks . And a new super six coin mech set to 50p a game . Then level .
Plays as good as any modern table now , and its 29 years old as it had a date on it .
back in the day these super Leagues where the best table to have , some players to day even say they still are .
well with the new larger rubber in the cushions it does play much better now and the speed of the Hainsworth napped cloth is a delight to play on .
It was a bit expensive having all these upgrades and new locks and coin mech , but the Lads who play on it say it’s great .
They are just waiting for the local pool league to start up again .
the Comrades club is an excellent club , and just been renovated .
Thankyou for the business .

I have one left for sale , brand new Supreme Winner pool tables 7ft x4ft external measurements
Currently up to 20 WEEK Waiting list from Factory .
Black pearl cabinet and Green Strachan cloth .
You will have to be quick to snap this one up as they are very rare to be in stock at any of the Firms .
most firms are now operating on a orders scheme some people having to wait until 20 weeks have gone by .
I bought 6 tables for my Rental side of the business , and decided to let three be sold , two have already been collected or delivered , this is the last one
after this it will be a 8 to 20 weeks waiting period before I get anymore for sale in stock .
I ordered a 6ft Supreme / Gatley classic dining version from the Supreme Factory the other week for myself , and I have to wait until January 2022 for that ! more than 30 weeks away from order …and I am trade so no favoritism or jumping the waiting list .
I normally order my tables in three’s and fetch them myself as you can see from above photo .
in these covid times , of garden bars and converted garages , new tables are hard to buy and get them in stock
and second hand versions of the Winner tables are fetching almost new prices now .
and you will be amazed at what people pay for a 15 year old Winner ! so why buy S/Hand …buy new .
Note that the new badge on Supreme winners have a dark blue grey background now ,
the table brand new I have in stock is identical to this table with the new blue grey badge , apart from the cloth being Green .
it is mechanical coin operated with cue ball separators channel to Baulk line end . solid metal chrome corners not chrome plastic , and metal trims behind the cushions again not the old balck plastic . in the very sort after Black pearl cabinet .
Very hard to get hold of in stock .
I have one in stock and ready to go for £1599 no vat .
Beat the Queue , ready to go and delivered local free of charge to pavement or driveway , add £99 if you wish to have unloaded and set up . £50 set up fee if you assist ( Ground floor only )
I also have three brand new ones for rental contracts if you want the best Rental deal going ,
which includes 2 re-cloths a year every 6 months in Hainsworth match cloths after initial 6 months on Strachan .
If you see any new tables with the old Green badge on them , then they are old stock .
My stock is the latest version and 2021 tables .
older Green badge
I use the best levels to level tables , so the set up fee is recommended .
some things to look out for ,
solid metal corners replaced the older plastic chrome type a few years ago .
also the trim behind the cushion is an alloy brushed metal trim not black plastic like the older ones
the black pearl cabinet finish replaced the black ash finish .
please contact Geoff or Carol Large at GCL billiards for further information .

More Pubs now coming for re-cloths as Covid restrictions are relaxed .
Latest pub to get their table back up and working is the Railway Inn at Sawley
having been pushed to one side since April 2020 to allow more seating and tables in then full lock down meaning closed doors .
now is the time to get the tables refurbished ready for normality and the leagues starting back up .
GCL Billiards supplied this ex tournament table to the Railway Inn around 3 years ago .
I have recently used Hainsworth match cloth as an upgrade , but gave my client an option of the even faster Hainsworth Precision .
Hainsworth precision is the faster smoothest napped cloth on the market .
it may not last as long as other cloths but our client has a re-cloth every 6 months anyway .
The Railway Inn will now have , probably the fastest napped cloth pool table in the local Long Eaton pool league .
but it may come a shock to his regulars that now is the time to also put the table up to £1 per play .
many pubs and clubs have only just survived the lock down , and landlord’s still having to pay rent during a lock down and also all the perishables having to be thrown away .
out of date crisps and other bar snacks and drinks , and also note this table or tables in the past that this table replaced have been on 50p per play now for the past 20 years .
more and more pub’s are now charging £1 per game now .
yes they will moan about it , but I can remember back in the 1970s when it was 10p per game then 20p per game , then 50p .
we have seen materials increase in price , Cloth , balls and cues , and chalk and tips , also replacement cushions and ball rails and pocket liners .
and labour rates to both table fitters and bar staff .
So now is the time I’m afraid for the latest price increase and £1 seems to be the norm now .
my client is not scrimping either it is not a money making exercise but rather a go with the times increase to SURVIVE , he has had the best cloth available to justify the increase too .
and do not forget he has two re-cloths a year , not one a year .
he also gives free table time nights in the week too . and subsidizes the match nights as free games , and he has a proper billiards iron to keep in pristine playing conditions .
Superb cloth , Hainsworth Precision ,
Anyone local to Long Eaton or Sawley , fancy to try this table out , one of the best kept tables on my rounds .
visit …..THE RAILWAY INN…… in …..SAWLEY….. on Wilne Road .
Tell them Geoff sent you .
Re-cloth full size snooker table in Silver grey Hainsworth smart near Leicester .
Today I have been over to a village just south of Leicester to re-cloth in a coordinating colour of silver Grey
the house has this grey white theme running throughout the house in most rooms .
A big thankyou to James , who supplied me with a sausage and tomato sandwich and plenty of tea and cold drinks
it was a warm day today and James also supplied me with a standing fan to keep me cool .
A sports theme bar room with full size snooker table .
Hainsworth describe this as silver , but it is definitely a grey cloth ,
Colour chart for Hainsworth smart , showing the vast range of colours available to coordinate most rooms décor .
Another angle of the table showing the light flooding in from the window , this gives a better shade to what the cloth colour really is .
although Hainsworth say Silver , I would describe it more slate grey .
our client had hand painted the table in a white matt finish , prior to our re-cloth .
new nets and leathers complete the renovation .
the next photos are all tables Geoff at GCL billiards has re-clothed in Hainsworth Smart cloth in a variety of colours chosen by our clients .
Hainsworth smart is available in a vast range of colours , this one is Paprika
Hainsworth Smart in Purple
Hainsworth smart in Royal blue
Hainsworth smart in Sage
Hainsworth smart in Powder Blue .
Hainsworth smart in Taupe
not a colour I would recommend as it gets dirty very quick but here is Hainsworth smart in Gold
or Golden Yellow as I would describe it .
And last but not least Hainsworth smart in Green ,
as you can see you have a wide choice in Hainsworth smart cloth for colours , I would say the most choice in this grade and make of cloth than any other on the market .
and that is why I recommend it to people wishing to look for a colour that suits their décor and style .
Hainsworth smart is a hard wearing thicker cloth that is long lasting .
The trick is to brush and iron it on a regular basis to keep it’s speed up otherwise it will slow down , as would any napped cloth of any thickness , if you allow it to roughen and scuff up .
So every 10 hours of use , brush and nap block and iron the cloth and you will find it plays very well .
